"Do not let your adornment be merely outward; arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel; rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God." (1 Pet. 3:3-4)

There's an old story about a princess who was unhappy because she was not pretty. A kind old aunt taught her three lessons: (1) Smile at everyone you meet. (2) Look for all the beautiful things you can find. (3) Say something kind to everyone. The princess took the lessons to heart and soon was so popular and so busy that she forgot all about her looks. Instead, she gained a reputation throughout the land as a great beauty. A change in attitude reshaped her whole life.

Let us strive for that inter beauty which is precious in the sight of God.
